Every day, leaders around the world make decisions that affect millions of people, sometimes inspiring positive change on a grand scale and at other times yielding disastrous outcomes. Recent events in global affairs make it increasingly apparent that nations must cultivate and encourage true leaders—and eschew false ones—if they hope to survive.

Palmisano cites an example of positive or negative action in history as a source from which to glean essential leadership lessons, providing crucial advice for those who aspire to become effective leaders in any position.
